A few other notes before I sign off...
The Homeschool Book Club is still continuing. "Homeschooling at the Speed of Life" by Marilyn Rockett is a fantastic book so far! Sadly, my life has been so hectic I am only halfway through the book. I see that I need this book for the next homeschool year now more then ever! :0) I plan on having an online chat, most likely in May, so please join in and read this much needed book for many of us. Here is the link to the original article:
